“I honestly never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don’t know whether the current president of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013. It’s possible, but I don’t know,” said Comey offering his assessment of the existence of the infamous Trump “pee tape” that remains unverified.

Comey was the first person to brief the incoming president on the existence of the former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele’s dossier, which first made the claim that Russian might have compromising material about Trump.

2. Donald Trump is “morally unfit to be president”

“I think he’s morally unfit to be president,” said Comey who also swatted back rumors that Trump was mentally incapacitated or not intelligent enough to rule. “I don’t buy this stuff about him being mentally incompetent or early stages of dementia. He strikes me as a person of above average intelligence who’s tracking conversations and knows what’s going on,” said Comey.

3. “Certainly some evidence of obstruction of justice”

The former FBI director also lent his voice to growing media speculation that there could be a growing case again Trump for obstruction of justice, particularly with the president’s earlier request to Comey that he “let go” of the investigation into former national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn.

“It’s certainly some evidence of obstruction of justice,” he said. “It would depend and — and I’m just a witness in this case, not the investigator or prosecutor, it would depend upon other things that reflected on his intent.”

Comey recollected his first moments with Donald Trump, saying that his immediate impression was that the president reminded him of some of the mob bosses he put away early in his career as a prosecutor.

“How strange is it for you to sit here and compare the president to a mob boss,” asked Stephanopoulos in disbelief.

“Very strange,” Comey responded. “And I don’t do it lightly.”

5. “He will stain everyone around him”

Comey also offered his belief that the president would permanently “stain” all those who work under him.

“The challenge of this president is that he will stain everyone around him. And the question is, how much stain is too much stain and how much stain eventually makes you unable to accomplish your goal of protecting the country and serving the country?” said Comey. “I don’t know.”

6. Trump never asked about how to prevent future Russia meddling in U.S. elections

Comey told Stephanopoulos that in all the talk of the Steele dossier and what he said was Trump’s request for personal loyalty, the president never asked him a single follow-up question about the Russian cyber-attacks that led — in part — to his election. Instead, the former FBI chief said Trump was far more interested in how the attack might be spun in terms favorable to him.

“No one, to my recollection, asked, ‘So what — what’s coming next from the Russians?’ You’re about to lead a country that has an adversary attacking it and I don’t remember any questions about,” said Comey.

“So what are they going to do next. How might we stop it? What’s the future look like? Because we’ll be custodians of the security of this country.” There was none of that. It was all, “What can we say about what they did and how it affects the election that we just had.”

Here's Everyone Donald Trump Insulted on Twitter in 2017 (Photos)

From fellow politicians to Oscar winners and musicians, President Donald Trump casts a wide net in his internet insultery.

Rahm Emanuel

On Jan. 2, Trump tweeted, "Chicago murder rate is record setting - 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016. If Mayor can't do it he must ask for Federal help!"

The swipe at Emanuel allowed Trump to take a shot both at an elected Democratic Mayor, and his predecessor (for whom Rahm served as Chief of Staff.)

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

On May 9, Trump tweeted, "Cryin' Chuck Schumer stated recently, "I do not have confidence in him (James Comey) any longer." Then acts so indignant. #draintheswamp"

The Senate Minority leader has become a frequent critic of — and thus a frequent target for — Trump

Office of Sen. Schumer

Arnold Schwarzenegger

On Feb. 3, Trump tweeted, "Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice...but at least he tried hard!

The terminator has had some tough words for Trump and so the president hit back where it hurts — Schwarzenegger's ratings for "The Apprentice" (which he briefly hosted).

Meryl Streep

On Jan. 9, Trump tweeted, "Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes.

Streep had some choice words for Trump during her speech at the Golden Globes and the president noticed.

NBC

Rep. John Lewis

On Jan. 14, Trump tweeted, "Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart..."

The Congressman vowed to boycott Trump's inauguration, infuriating the newly elected president.

Chelsea Manning

On Jan. 26, Trump tweeted, "Ungrateful TRAITOR Chelsea Manning, who should never have been released from prison, is now calling President Obama a weak leader. Terrible!"

Trump, it seems, was not a fan of President Obama's decision to commute Manning's sentence.

United States Army

Sen. Richard Blumenthal

On Feb. 9, Trump tweeted, "Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who never fought in Vietnam when he said for years he had (major lie), now misrepresents what Judge Gorsuch told him?"

Blumenthal is a near constant presence on MSNBC criticizing Trump — so this counterpunch was pretty much inevitable.

Mark Cuban

On Feb. 12, Trump tweeted, "I know Mark Cuban well. He backed me big-time but I wasn't interested in taking all of his calls. He's not smart enough to run for president!"

Cuban, a fellow billionaire and Hillary Clinton ally has made a point of getting under Trump's skin throughout 2017.

DNC Chairman Thomas Perez

On Feb. 25, Trump tweeted, "Congratulations to Thomas Perez, who has just been named Chairman of the DNC. I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!

On May 10, Trump tweeted, "James Comey will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the FBI."

Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May and has been angry at him ever since.

Kathy Griffin

On May 31, Trump tweeted, "Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!"

Griffin took enormous incoming fire after a photo of her holding a model of Donald Trump's severed head went viral for all the wrong reasons.

"Crooked" Hillary Clinton

Trump has mocked Hillary plenty of times, but recently on November 18, Trump tweeted, "Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!"

Not much explanation needed here. Trump bested "Crooked" Hillary in 2016 and seems intent on reminding us for ever and ever and ever.

Sadiq Khan

On June 5, Trump tweeted, "Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!"

When terrorism strikes London, the city's Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, often finds himself in Trump's crosshairs.

"I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came o Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!"

Widely considered one of Trump's nastiest burns, the president was likely incensed by something the pair said on "Morning Joe."

MSNBC

Jeff Sessions

On July 25, Trump tweeted,"Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!"

Trump went through a rough patch with his Attorney General and has long been cranky about Session's decision to recuse himself from the Russia probe.

"Publicity seeking Lindsey Graham falsely stated that I said there is moral equivalency between the KKK, neo-Nazis & white supremacists. and people like Ms. Heyer. Such a disgusting lie. He just can't forget his election trouncing. The people of South Carolina will remember!"

Graham has occasionally lightly criticized Trump and the president doesn't appreciate it

"The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump. Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job"

Cruz criticized Trump's handling of hurricanes in Puerto Rico and the president shot right back

"Ed Gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what I stand for. Don’t forget, Republicans won 4 out of 4 House seats, and with the economy doing record numbers, we will continue to win, even bigger than before!"

Though Trump campaigned hard for Ed Gillespie in Virginia, when he lost the governor's race to Ralph Northam, Trump threw him under the bus.

"Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!"

Trump claimed credit for getting Ball's son out of a Chinese prison, but then blasted him for being insufficiently grateful.

"So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!"

"PM Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!"

May blasted Trump's decision to retweet a far-right British group and Trump told her to mind her own business.

Brian Ross

On December 2, Trump tweeted:

"Congratulations to @ABC News for suspending Brian Ross for his horrendously inaccurate and dishonest report on the Russia, Russia, Russia Witch Hunt. More Networks and “papers” should do the same with their Fake News!"

Trump gave Ross the business for reporting inaccurate news about Michael Flynn.

"LAST thing the Make America Great Again Agenda needs is a Liberal Democrat in Senate where we have so little margin for victory already. The Pelosi/Schumer Puppet Jones would vote against us 100% of the time. He’s bad on Crime, Life, Border, Vets, Guns & Military. VOTE ROY MOORE!"

Trump threw all his chips in for Roy Moore in Alabama, despite Moore being accused of sexual misconduct with minors. It didn't work, and "puppet Jones" was triumphant.

"@DaveWeigel @WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in. Real photos now shown as I spoke. Packed house, many people unable to get in. Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo"

The President was annoyed over a misleading Tweet from Weigel which the reporter deleted and apologized for

"Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!"

Gillibrand called on Trump to resign over sexual misconduct allegations eliciting a predictable response

"How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?"

Roy Moore

On December 23, Trump tweeted: "Remember, the Republicans are 5-0 in Congressional races this year. In Senate, I said Roy M would lose in Alabama and supported Big Luther Strange - and Roy lost. Virginia candidate was not a 'Trumper,' and he lost. Good Republican candidates will win BIG!"

While Trump did support Luther Strange in the Republican primary, he later endorsed Moore -- and campaigned actively for him in December's special election.

Anna Wintour

On December 28, Trump tweeted: "Vanity Fair, which looks like it is on its last legs, is bending over backwards in apologizing for the minor hit they took at Crooked H. Anna Wintour, who was all set to be Amb to Court of St James’s & a big fundraiser for CH, is beside herself in grief & begging for forgiveness!"
